Description of Leachco Safer Bather Infant Bath Pad, Blue Fish
Safer Bather bath pad has all of the features every parent needs to assure baby's bath is as safe and pleasurable as can be. The head is elevated keeping water out of baby's ears, and it won't break or pull apart like some sponge pads. Soft polyester filling dries quickly and is mold and mildew resistant. Sturdy hanger for convenient storage. Baby will not have to lay in a hard plastic tub. For newborn to 9 months.Your Baby Today Babies usually love bathtime, but combining soap and water with a squirmy infant can make for slippery conditions. This softly cushioned bath pillow from Leachco helps keep your infant in place--whether you bathe her in the kitchen sink or bathtub--while you get her clean. The colorful striped fish and seahorses that adorn the pillow will amuse your baby. The bather comes with a handle to allow for easy drying. -- Maureen Connolly for Your Baby Today
Baby Products Reviews of Leachco Safer Bather Infant Bath Pad, Blue Fish
Customer Review: Excellent for New Parents of First-born Children...
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Leachco Safer Bather for my daughter when she was expecting her first child. I had loved the inflatible bathtub I had for her 30 years ago, and the Leachco Safer Bather looked like a significantly improved bath aid. After using this several times, I can say it has both it pluses and minuses.
The bath pad is quite soft and makes an excellent cradle to help hold your infant while bathing. If you are a first-time parent, then this bath pad will definitely provide you an extra measure of security and allow you to feel more comfortable when bathing your infant. The pad will sit nicely on a counter; we found it did slide a bit and put some of the waffle-hole padding that one uses to keep rugs from slipping underneath it. That solved the problem and made the pad sit securely on the counter surface.
However, I did not rate this item as five stars for the following reasons. The cover stains if your baby has an "accident" - even laundry stainremover and washing the pad immediately did not prevent this from happening. Further, the cover picks up any lint in your washer, in addition to pilling some, so it must be washed alone. I would suggest the manufacturer rethink the fabric on the covering and do something that would prevent immediate staining or provide instructions for removing stains. A non-pilling fabric would also be much better.
The third reason that I did not rate this as five stars is that I believe it has a very limited useful life. Because it has low sides and the well for the child is not particularly deep, it may not be of much value once your child can sit up. The inflatible bath tubs have higher sides so that when a child is sitting up, if they happen to tip over, might be able to avoid a nasty head bump. In the bathing pad, if the child tips over, they could quite possibly hit their head on the side or bottom of the bathtub.
I also have concerns that the bath pad may slip when placed in a tub. The instructions say to soak it, but there are no suction pads on the bottom so that it can adhere to the tub's surface. The inflatible tubs with which I am familiar do suction to the tub's surface and allow for better infant security.
If you have extra funds to spend on your child or grandchild, this might be a good option. However, I would definitely recommend exploring the various inflatible tubs that are available since they will have a longer useful life and seem to be more secure.
